I got this in a junk email, but it is pretty cool and I don't know what the answer is yet, post the answer if you think you know it. Written by, Paul Harvey.

When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten kids got the answer,
compared to 17% of Stanford University seniors. (really makes me feel smart)

RIDDLE:

What is greater than God, More evil than the devil, The poor have it, The
rich need it, And if you eat it, you'll die?

<< hmmm... works on everything except the eating part >>



If you eat nothing, you'll die! so it's right!

<<i dont think 4 out of every 5 kindergarteners got that answer... >>

i don't know, think about the awnser. It really doesn't suprise me. Kid's brains aren't filled with stuff as much as adults. they are taught that God is the most powerful, satan is the most evil. No if's and's or but's about it. so nothing comes to their minds.

id say most kids would say &quot;i dont know&quot; instead of a positive answer of &quot;nothing&quot;

The first word out of my mouth was nothing because there is nothing greater than God...but i didn't realize that it could have been the answer...duh.


And ya it does work for &quot;if you eat it you will die&quot; because if you eat nothing then you will eventually die.


Thanks everybody!
